Quoted By:
Wild moose have a distinctive, earthy smell, often described as a mix of musky and woody scents. The odor can be strong, especially during mating season (the rut), when male moose (bulls) produce more hormones. This smell comes from their oily skin, which can carry a gamey aroma, and from their environment, as they spend time in wetlands, forests, and areas with heavy vegetation. Moose might also smell like mud, pine, and vegetation they brush up against or feed on.
